Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll stop updating until the storm passes

- Deluge crashes with python error if you try to remove a torrent.- Xfce xkb-plugin will not let you define a hotkey to switch layouts, the option has disappeared.

- Xfce 4.10 screenlock broken. Xscreensaver daemon is not started.Edit: It seems that Xfce 4.8 always started the screensaver, a bug that's fixed in 4.10. So I had to create an autostart entry for xscreensaver. http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7826

Upgraded to Cinnamon 1.8.8+lmde and mdm 1.2.5+lmde . Previous problems with mdm and nemo are solved. Only problem seems to be a noticeable startup delay with the cinnamon panels loading on boot. Worth the upgrade though

Neat, I hadn't seen the upgrade was available.

Is there a better way to preview MDM themes than log in, choose one, and log out?

Switched from lmde repo to pinned debian testing at a higher priority than mint repos, with unstable and experimental repos pinned at -10 so they only install if forced. when I did apt-get distupgrade, I got the errors pasted in below with the new kernels failing to install. To make that long story short, pango and plymouth conflicted, with pango updated to a higher version than plymouth allowed. this caused the kernels to not install. the workaround was to get the latest plymouth, 0.8.8-9 from experimental to replace 0.8.8-6 that is in testing and unstable.

even though we already said 'don't' so many times, there are still some new user driven by their pure curiosity who jumped into testing. I believe this thread is not made only for LMDE experts. the main purpose of this thread is to help anyone who follow testing - regardless their knowledge on LMDE - to fix their problem after an update broke their system. please also consider that your information might also useful to find the package which causing this bugs so that the devs could quickly fix it.
